Abstract | "Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in"--Isaac Asimov. The persistent underutilization of the diverse U.S. talent pool in science is a complex problem that defies simple explanation. Despite the demonstrated value of diversity (e.g., Page, 2007), articles and reports continue to document the disparities in demographics of scientists (e.g., National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine [NAS "et al."], 2011). A priori, this is surprising: after all, in this country, finding diversity is not difficult. Why, then, have we not been more successful in capturing and cultivating this talent? What are the assumptions and observations that might be holding us back or might provide insights into how we can better understand the challenge? In this essay, we encourage the re-examination of some assumptions. (As Provided). |
